Editor's Note [Negatives]

Average overall performance - falling quite a bit behind the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi 3S - even in regular usage

Average camera - there is quite a bit of noise in most photos, and they aren’t the sharpest either - again falling behind the cameras of its main competitors like the Lenovo Vibe K5 and the Xiaomi Redmi 3S
